I feel like this is not your typical hostel. This was quite the mature vibe with only a dozen or two people around at once. Very nicely decorated. I stayed in the King bed private room above the lobby. You CAN hear the music from the lobby, but she provided ear plugs when went unused as the calming music actually put me to sleep. There is definitely an older / family vibe going on, again, much different than most of the 18 year old party hostels i've been to. it was a very nice a refreshing stay in Bangkok. Showers were great too!
